That is when i family shared with my brother i logged into my steam account on his computer, and he logged into his steam account on my computer... and we authorised each other.
i didn't even realise you could do it "one way".
My thought is that you both doing it "one way" is the problem..
OR
She has some sort of CCleaner or other program on her computer that's messing up the authorisation (or YOU have something like that on your computer).
OR
One or both of you hasn't shut down Steam properly after the authorisation. That is to say you aren't "exiting" out of Steam properly before shutting down your computers - and are instead just shutting off your computers and letting Windows "force shut down" the Steam process. Rather than you manually "exiting" Steam from within the Steam program first. Failing to exit Steam manually at least once after changing Steam settings.. can often mess up settings in Steam (and other programs too). So people should get into the habit of properly exiting programs before shutting down their computer systems.

But those are just my guesses. It could be something else that is the problem.
BUT~ i dunno why you want to family share with your girlfriend anyways if you don't trust going over to her house and logging into your Steam account on her computer. Why date someone who has bad computer security! that's grounds to break up with someone!!
I'll ask her if she's waiting all apps to shut down by themselves, and to close Steam Client from the exit command.
This has happened so many times and repeatedly that I doubt it's some sort of incompatibility with another app. It'd not happen in this predictable way.
But yeah, this is not some email account. I have hundreds of games. Steam >>>>>>>> PSN regarding banning, but even so I don't like the idea of having my passwords out there.
